Wall packs, area lighting fixtures that mount to the side of buildings, are an efficient
way to light a parking lot. Although they come in a variety of shapes, wattage’s and beam angles, one thing they have in common is their consumption of electrical energy.

Check out the world’s smallest fuel cell. You can see it on the right; it's dimensions are only 3 mm x 3 mm x 1 mm. Researchers at the University of Illinois have done all the work for the development of this high tech fuel cell, that consists of just a few materials: water, metal hydride, some electrodes and a membrane.

The cell you see makes 0.7 volts and a 0.1 milliamp current and runs for about 30 hours, which is pretty long given the size of the cell. You can imagine that 0.7 volts and 0.1 milliamp current are not enough to power any high tech gadget of yours, however this is the first step in development.

The technology is good for mobile electronics such as smart phones since it does not use gravity to control the flow of water. Instead it uses surface tension and will work to charge when the device is moving.

We’ve all seen tons of useless USB gadgets and not too many of them worth a darn. This high-tech USB powered lunch bag / warmer is actually bringing some benefit to the workplace. You take your food from home in the combo lunch box /warmer, plug it into your USB port of your workstation computer and by lunch time you have a nice warm meal. This is great for the people that only have a thirty minute lunch break. Thanko is the manufacturer product cost is $22

A puppy has been brought back from Cardiac Arrest by mouth-to-mouth resuscitation – after it was nearly put out by a flying high tech Nintendo Wii controller.

The Five month old puppy, a miniature Sheltie belonging to Kathy White of Marquette MI, was knocked out and stopped breathing after White accidentally hit him with the Wii controller while playing Wii Bowling.

Kathy had just gotten the Wii for Christmas, so she was trying it out, and that's when we were were bowling and my puppy was standing by me and he jumped up and I hit him in the temple and thought I had taken him out instantly.'

Fortunately for the puppy, Kathy's neighbor came to her aid – and managed to bring him back from the the departed by giving him mouth-to-mouth.

He was then taken to a local vet, where he was treated for cardiac arrest and severe brain swelling. It's taken him several weeks to recover, but according to Kathy, he's almost back to normal now.

I have seen Televisions smashed, windows broken, however never a puppy put put though this before.. I really wonder how many unreported injuries happen by the WII.

Sony showed two new model's of Walkmans at the Consumer Electronics Show in its latest effort to get its share of Apple's Personal music player market.

Sony's new Walkman X-Series sports a 3.5-inch OLED touchscreen display and includes WiFi for downloading podcasts, streaming video from YouTube, and more. The X Series will be available early this summer in 16 GB and 32 GB capacities, with pricing yet to be determined.

Available in April, Sony's Walkman W Series features a cord-free design integrating the music player into the headset--a design meant to be lightweight and comfortable. The W series can fully charge its estimated 12-hour battery in only 30 minutes, while most other audio players take a few hours to recharge. The W Series wil be available in April with support for protected and unprotected WMA, as well as unprotected MP3 and AAC formats.

Samsung Electronics plans to show a flat-panel TV that's as thin as just 6.5-millimeters at this week's International CES in Las Vegas.

The Samsung TV, Here are some details which are immediately available, is between 6.5mm and 7mm across its width and has an LED backlight.

The backlight sits behind the LCD panel and generates the light that shines through it to allow the image to be seen. Most LCD panels use thicker backlights that make use of fluorescent lights but LEDs are fast finding favor with TV makers for their thinness and better overall light.

The Samsung TV will be at present to be the thinnest LCD TV yet demonstrated.

One thing I would like to point out once you have a television this thin you will have to encase it in something to protect it from breakage or mounting since its so fragile. So why worry about how thin it can be? No price info is available yet.

Sharp Aquos Limited Edition LC-52XS1U-S As Flat screens continue to improve, transitioning from spectrum-limited fluorescent s to LED's. The 52-inch Sharp Aquos Limited Edition LC-52XS1U-S $11,999 list is the company's first LCD to use LED-based picture. The result is impressive pictures. Out of the box this screen requires professional calibration and complaints about the picture controls not being as effective as one would hope put a damper on the excitment of purchasing a new TV. The list price of $12,000 is pretty insulting where the economy is as well.

Honda has come up with a unique robotic walker for the elderly that will enable seniors or others with disabilities to walk normally again.

The Honda walker should make the disabled so much more mobile than canes and walker's. The Honda walker basically assists with the normal walking process by using a semi exoskeleton to make the legs function rather than a cane to lean on or a walker to slide across a room.

It should not be to long before we see these walkers on the market and people on the streets with robo legs..

This is some of the great technology to hit the market from all the research being done in robotics.
